According to TTP Khorasani’s vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb Sunday in the Afghan province of Paktika located on the frontier with Pakistan.

Khorasani is believed to be close to Al-Qaeda’s founder leader Osama bin Al-Zawahiri and bin Laden, however it wasn’t known at the time whether there was any connection between the drone strike and bombing.

At some moment, he broke away from TTP and created his own group called Jamaat ul Ahrar.

His group was responsible for several of the most fatal attacks in Pakistan including an attack in the city’s eastern part of Lahore in the year 2016 which killed at 75 people belonging to the minoritarian Christian community on Easter Sunday.

Khorasani later disbanded Jamaat ul Ahrar and rejoined the TTP in the group’s effort to unite several groups that had been separated.

The US State Department described him as a former poet and journalist who was educated at several madrasas in Pakistan.

There’s been a delicate peace accord between Islamabad and the TTP for the last two months, as peace talks that were mediated by Afghan Taliban’s Haqqani network are taking place.
